Wait, what?

Connor did a classic Connor the other day. There was much discussion about baseball this winter, because Little League abruptly changed the age definitions so that Connor suddenly went from being baseball-8 to baseball-9, even though he'll play the whole season at 8. This is big because it means he goes from playing machine pitch with 7s and 8s to playing kid pitch with (real) 9s and 10s. When I told him he could choose to play down if he wanted, however, he said without hesitation he wanted to play kid pitch. A laudable sense of adventure in my view.

So the other day, we are meeting his coach and the subject of kid-pitch comes up and Connor looks at me and says "Wait, I'm playing kid-pitch???" His coach looked at me like I was nuts, not to have informed my own child of this. Sigh.
